patti ann: how important is wisconsin to this election in. >> it's big. one reason -- the way i think about it is it's probably the republican's best shot as turning a state that's been consistently blue. i mean when you look at the problems mitt romney is having in a place like ohio, they need to expand the map, they need to move into blue territory and pennsylvania and michigan, the other candidates are not looking too good right now. in wisconsin i think they've got more of a purchase on that state given what we've talked about, the recent political history. without wisconsin it's one of these running the table scenarios where they just have to win the great preponderance of contestants. wisconsin sort of gives them more. patti ann: to victory. patti ann: we will she what happens. greg gilbert. the reporter for the washington seven ta knell. thank you for joining us. jon: a major challenge to wisconsin's new union law is happening now in chicago. judges on the 7th circuit court of appeal hearing arguments today from several unions challenging the const

it comes to elections. you can go to bed a champ and wake up a chump in politics, i've done it. but mitt romney's a good, honorable man. the people of south carolina are seeing a lot of him right now, and i think he's in an ideal position to move through south carolina and on to the rest of this primary season. jon: if he wins nomination, the president has already generated a lot of campaign cash. can mitt romney beat president obama? >> >> i think he can. he can win ohio, wisconsin, new mexico, colorado, florida, places like that. he's going to do very well. and that's what we've got to have. you know, south carolina's the reddest of the red states. any republican is going to take south carolina in the general election. but we've got to make sure we send somebody from south carolina that can win those other states. in a presidential election, second place is last place, so we've got to be in first place, and every day as we get closer to the election, every day as we march towards that day, people see mitt

so what elections can be learned? we have someone works on the hispanic and research efforts for the obama campaign and her shades sclapp. former media spokesman for president george w. bush. nice to have you both here at that. what do you think of the comments. >> it is indicative why he had such a hard time winning hispanic vote as pubs do in the past years. hispanic voters were not giving gifts. it is a clear indication where the republican party needs to go. let's not forget that in 2000 and 2004 a lot of analysts attribute why the republican party was able to be successful and capture the presidency due too much stronger hispanic support. both bush brothers and george w. bush and jeb bush understood that but that ideology got away from them. jenna: mercedes you worked in the administration. 2004 was the bar, got 44% of the hispanic vote. is that the bar for republicans only 44% of the hispanic vote and what do they do to get more? >> we definitely need to do to get more. the success of president bush came from th

election is tomorrow night. any time you have a sitting governor endorse a candidate it's certainly more plus than minus. it can be viewed as a good thing. at the end of the day none of these endorsements matter compared to where the candidate stands on the issues and based on personal appeal how they can get the messages across. ron paul has tremendous ideas that he can get across, he's not able to communicate those ideas. newt gingrich is a forceful personality and can convey ideas incredibly well like we saw last night. jon: gingrich seems to be on a roll. this was taken two days ago, 33% to governor romney's 31%, within the margin of error. essentially they are tied. you've seen gingrich's numbers surging and his debate performance last night most observers seem to say shows him on a roll. how would you assess his momentum as opposed to mitt romney. >> i would say south carolina is a much more conservative state and different. if you look at romney's numbers, they in the last time he ran for president were c

then again turning back to mitt romney, they clearly do not want to go into this election, general election with mitt romney. and i think that what that -- the result of that is just and overall lack of enthusiasm which is what we're seeing in this sort of match up between either mitt romney or rick santorum, and barack obama. i do think that things will improve a little bit once a nominee is chosen and voters -- republicans have to get behind one of the nominees. but i think perhaps the most troubling aspect of all this is that republicans are seeing mitt romney have such a hard time closing the deal, sealing this nomination, and they wonder, well, if he has this much trouble against michelle bachmann, against herman cain, rick santorum now how much trouble will he have against barack obama in november. jon: all the republicans are engaged in a circling firing squad. a lot of ads running, one candidate criticizing another. the assessment is that helps president obama distance himself from whoever the ultimate nominee becomes. is there going to be time in the nine months before election day

we have election iran in march. one here in november and six months to decide how tough these sanctions are really going to be when it comes to iran, the oil supply and their central bank. if you're advising the administration what is your advice here? >> the administration got itself in a bit of trouble while insisting when congress was considering sanctions it wasn'ted presidential waiver authority. the legislation was very sweeping. one consequence of that in six months when the legislation begins to take efebts -- effects the president will be under enormous pressure from american friend to grant waivers to the sanctions. that process means once you grant one waiver, others want waivers as well. the administration trying to look tough against iran also has to worry about the rising price of oil and its threats to a pretty feeble economic recovery. jenna: so two questions in there. when it comes to how tough the administration is going to be that means the american public will actually have a chance to see where

i think he's going to struggle in the general election. jenna: would you categorize mitt romney that way? >> i it's easy to deflect on obama's record, he has no record within the hispanic community. esting he's talked about, he's failed. there is high unemployment in the latino community, more people living in poverty and his ratings have declined. in general, hispanics, six in ten believe that the economy is on the wrong track and this president has not fulfilled his part. jenna: the same question to simon, how do republicans do the sort of outreach? the politico has an article about how the president is custom tailoring his message to the hispanic community. how do republicans answer that? >> i'm very excited to be part of the republican national committee, chairman priebus announced new efforts to connect with hispanics throughout this country, we're going to have boots on the ground in florida, nevada, colorado, new mexico, among some others, and we're also doing a very strong communications effort, in english and spanish. and social m
